MPWR-ing Women in RUME: Continuing Support
Page: 1631
For the past four years, we have run the MPWR Seminar, a daylong mentoring and networking event for women in RUME. Each year, we have hosted 60 – 90 women at various career stages (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty and professionals outside of academic positions). The seminar takes place the day before the annual RUME conference, allowing most of the participants to continue engaging with each other throughout the subsequent three days during RUME. In this poster, we address the motivation for the seminar, the structure and topics from the 2017 seminar, modifications in the structure for sustainability purposes, and research related to the efficacy and transferability of MPWR. Our aim in sharing this poster is to disseminate our experiences and gather input from the community on what more could be done
